Dr. Meredith Smedley, who received her Doctorate in Dentistry from the University of Toronto in 2002, has over 20 years of experience in the field. After starting her practice in 2010, she transitioned to a more holistic and biomimetic approach to dentistry. This philosophy centers on treating the "why" behind dental issues, rather than just the symptoms. They prioritize identifying the root cause of problems and aim to repair them in the least invasive way possible, conserving as much natural tooth structure as they can.
Moxie Dental and Airway emphasizes a "biological dentistry" approach, striving for the safest and least toxic treatments. This includes using mercury-free biomimetic composites, safely removing mercury fillings to reduce exposure, and utilizing hydroxyapatite products for decay prevention instead of fluoride. They also focus on the connection between oral health and overall well-being, including breathing and airway health, offering services that extend beyond traditional dentistry to address these interconnected aspects.
The clinic provides a comprehensive range of dental services for all ages, from infants to grandparents. These services include, but are not limited to, braces and retainers, bridges and dentures, fillings, Invisalign, root canals, teeth bonding, cosmetic procedures, dental cleanings, dental crowns, dental examinations, dental inlays/onlays, dental X-rays, denture repair, non-surgical gum treatment, pediatric dental exams, porcelain veneers, restoration of dental implants, root planing, and teeth whitening.
